"This would have to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in. We were met on arrival with the feeling that we were 'expected and welcome'. During our stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was light, airy, well-conditioned and scurrilously clean. We will be definitely returning to this lovely hotel."
